I took a trip on the Islington bus this morning, and the campaign signs were out in full force on those little strips of public land between the sidewalk and the road, the most signs I've seen for this election thus far. I've always found that sort of thing to be a tad pathetic; its not like their placement there shows any real support, unlike, say, the signs on the front yard of a property. Gong, whose name inevitably reminds me of Chuck Barris, was the biggest contributor to this phenomenon by far. Or should I say worst offender? His crap was everywhere! A couple of the other no-names and cranks had their signs up as well, though nowhere near to the extent that Gong Show did.
Meanwhile, one of Saunders' signs actually said, "Saunders Is How To Stop Chow." It's one thing to air such a sentiment in a forum like this, but placing it in your official campaign literature seems pretty crass, no? Does this jackass have so little to recommend himself he has to resort to this?
